@tsmrg: I can sympathize with you. I remember reading that iOS 6.0+ was supposed to allow you to upgrade and install previously purchased apps without a password. Yet, sometimes, I have to enter my password when I'm merely upgrading apps already on my iPad. But - not all the time! It's very random (as far as I can tell) that I'm asked for a password. It's very odd - and very annoying.

So, no, I don't have a solution for you. Just know that someone somewhere "on the 'Net" is experiencing the same annoyances...

Yes, security can be a bit of a pain. Would you rather everyone could load whatever they wish on your iPad and charge you for the pleasure? If that's good for you, please just send me your bank router code, checking account number, social security number and date of birth and I'll take care of everything for you. Trust me.

I must admit that I do prefer to keep stringent security measures on PCs, iPads etc. and certainly at airports. The first time that there is a breach of any kind and we will all be asking why isn't security tighter? Contrary to a lot of views, security is there for our protection, not to make life difficult. Those that try and breach security are the ones making life difficult. And yes, there will always be a fine line between human/civil rights and our own rights and freedom to live our lives without hassle from nefarious beings and their activities. Unfortunately, we will never regain that 'innocent time'. Sorry, we just have to live with it, modern time fact of life. Soapbox time over,
